Okay, the guys over at Stray Dog, must have been some editing fools because that Krystal spot I shot is already on YouTube and I’ve had several people tell me that they’ve seen it on the air.

So, here it is! Look for the construction worker toward the beginning with the red hardhat and sunglasses in the back of the truck. Ton of fun to shoot!

So, today is the day apparently.

I’m taking just a moment to let you know that I just booked a commercial for Krystals.  It’s a regional buyout so, chances are, you’ll see it.  From what I know of it so far, it feels like a football season-type commercial.  For now, I’m frantically getting ready for my wardrobe fitting which is in about two hours yet nearly an hour’s drive away.  Oh yeah, and scrambling for daycare for the shoot tomorrow.

Film at 11…

A couple of months ago, I was about to shoot a new commercial when I got an e-mail from the director, Alan McKenna of CJ Advertising, asking if I had any kids. It turns out they were looking for someone to play my child in the commercial. To make a long story short, they decided on Morgan!

Without further delay, here is the finished product. If you are reading this on the feed, you might want to head over to the website to see the other two videos which are attached as well. One of them is an outtakes reel!

Just before Christmas, I had a first for me:  a modeling shoot!  Mid-December, I was sitting in a room at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville posing for the camera as though we were having a business meeting.  Pretty cut and dried.  I did get a cool new shirt out of the whole thing!  Oh yeah, and they paid me really money, which is cool.

In other news, I’ve been asked (and have accepted) to be a charter member of the repertory company with Green Room Projects in Nashville.  This is the same group that co-produced the October production of Hamlet.  In other good news, there are going to be a couple more performances of Hamlet in the Middle Tennessee area in the coming months!  My first production as a company member of Green Room Projects is going to be Tuesdays With Morrie.  If you don’t know the book, I’ll let you guess which part I’ll be playing.

There’s a possibility of some directing work coming down the pike, too.  I’ll keep you posted on that either here or over at The Mirror Up To Nature (and the podcast).

I also had two more auditions yesterday; one for a CMT Promo Spot with Jimmy Kup Casting, the other for a feature film which will be shot in Nashville in a couple of months with Casting Director Jo Doster.

The podcast continues to grow and we’ve got some pretty neat stuff in the works to announce in 2007.  Be on the lookout for that!

Christmas with the family was wonderful.  Bekah and I celebrated our 11th anniversary by painting accent walls in our house and unpacking boxes of stuff that hadn’t seen the light of day since we left Texas over two years ago.  And, let me tell you there’s nothing more romantic than being covered in paint and packing peanuts for your anniversary.  H – O – T!

This weekend I’m off to Memphis to do a couple of Shakespeare workshops for high school students and to run the Tennessee Governor’s School of the Arts auditions.

Very special thanks to the guys at Stray Dog Productions for getting these spots to me.  Somewhere out there, there is a radio spot based on the same thing.  If I can get my hands on that, I’ll post it here, too.

Anyway, this was a blast to shoot and I think it turned out rather nice.

Here are both the :30 and the :60 spots.  Enjoy.

(Oh yeah, if you are picking this up off of the iTunes feed, you’re only going to see the :60 spot.  You’ll have to go to www.teequillin.com to see the :30.)

At the end of October, I’ll be making my return to the stage in the Valhalla Shakespeare Project’s production of Hamlet. It’s an eight member ensemble of actors playing a very commedia-style production. (No, not comedy, but a very “mountebank” stage feel to the show). All eight of us will have our turn playing the Dane regardless of gender. I’ll be playing Horatio throughout the play and will get my stab at Prince Hamlet in Act II (“Words, words, words”, the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern scene, and “Rogue and peasant slave…”)

If you are in the middle Tennessee area, make your plans now to come out to Cannon County and see the show!
